Text Twist 2 Review
A sequel to one of the most popular (and most often imitated) word games of all time, Text Twist 2 introduces some new modes to its simple yet addictive gameplay formula, but it's not enough to keep the title from feeling strangely barebones.
Lucy's Expedition Review
Interested in a time management game that doesn't involve waitressing, fashion or anything stereotypically "pink?" Considering that most service games fall into this trap, it's neat to see something different. Lucy's Expedition lets you organize archaeological sites and dig up all kinds of ancient artifacts and relics in order to put together a mysterious map.
Delicious - Emily's Tea Garden Review
Delicious - Emily's Tea Garden is proof that a casual game doesn't need to reinvent the wheel to be a lot of fun. After all, we've seen this restaurant-themed time management game mechanic many times in the past, but here it's pulld off very well for the most part.
Little Shop - Road Trip Review
Continuing the tradition of previous Little Shop releases, Little Shop - Road Trip serves up another heapin' helpin' of hidden object heaven. And, aside from a few critters caught in its headlights, it's an enjoyable seek-and-find romp across America, from Seattle to South Beach, in search of rare treasures to stock your little shop back home.
Dam Beavers Review
Dam Beavers is a study in unfulfilled potential. Great word games don't come along very often - it's tricky to make a game that provides an interesting challenge to word lovers while still being accessible to those with less extensive vocabularies - but Dam Beavers might have been such a game if not for a few fatal flaws.
Gold Rush - Treasure Hunt Review
There's never been a better time to get rid of a certain precious metal, with its value higher than ever. Happily, according to pleasing new action-puzzler Gold Rush - Treasure Hunt, there's never been a better time to find it as well. Having ventured deep within the title's computerized caverns, we concur: While not the most frantic or captivating of its breed, the game nonetheless proves fun and challenging, especially when enjoyed in short spurts.
